Importance of Oral Cancer Screening in Irving
April 11, 2016
Oral cancer affects over 48,000 Americans each year, resulting in an alarming death rate of roughly one person per 24 hours. With nearly 9,600 Americans dying each year from oral cancer, we want to raise awareness about the cancer and the importance of regular cancer screenings. The death rate and long term prognosis for those with oral cancer continues to rise due to lack of education about the cancer. Not to mention, oral cancer doesn’t produce noticeable signs in its early stages. As a result, oral cancer is usually not diagnosed until it has reached the later stages or spread to other areas of the body. Thankfully, you can benefit from an oral cancer screening in Irving when visiting your dentist for a checkup.

The General Dentist Irving, TX Trusts to Provide Superior Crown & Bridge Replacement
September 1, 2015
For patients missing one or more teeth, the worst dental health consequences may not be obvious right away. Some people choose to live with the mild embarrassment of having a missing tooth due to expense or to avoid discomfort, but the most detrimental effects of missing teeth are the unseen consequences taking place below the gum line. Teeth support the health of gum tissue, and stimulate bone density preservation and development. When teeth are missing, soft tissue and bone deteriorate over time. As this deterioration occurs, surrounding teeth shift to fill in spaces leaving the entire smile compromised by one missing tooth. As jawbone density decreases, this prevents the future option of ever getting an implant due to inadequate bone support. Shifting occlusion due to missing teeth can lead to TMJ disorder, especially in patients who clench or grind the teeth. Cosmetically, multiple missing teeth cause facial sagging or caving in, and leave unsightly gaps in smiles. Whether you’re missing one tooth or a full arch, the experts at 21st Century Dental of Irving recommend replacing your teeth to maintain oral health. Call to schedule a smile consultation at our convenient Irving, TX dental practice today.
